Parade Balloons (Mini Story)

It was the night before the Thanksgiving Day Parade when parade walkers Karen and Josh were ordered into their boss's office. 

"You wanted to see us sir?" Karen asked

"Yes, I have some bad news. Our Santa Claus and Ms. Claus floats have both torn in an accident but you two can help us." He explained. "If you're willing, I can pay you both $2000 each if you agree to assist us in replacing the balloons."

They both happily accepted. They needed the extra cash for the holiday season. Their boss didn't go into details about what he wanted them to do, he just had them sign a disclaimer agreement and told them to go down to the warehouse wear the balloons are kept.

They walked into the warehouse filled with workers and a few doctors for some reason. They were given glasses of seemingly clear water to drink and told that they would begin shortly.

They both drank the liquid and suddenly felt their skin suddenly become much more rubbery and a pain rumbled in their bellies. They suddenly began inflating, bellies first before it spread to the rest of the bodies, causing their clothes to tear of from their increased size. The gases began escaping their bodies through brassy flatulence and deep belches, which the workers quickly stopped up with butt plugs and mouth gags. Now their bodies began to rapidly inflate and began to float, the workers needing to tie long ropes around their wrists and ankle. By the time they finally stopped growing, they were were massive, with huge bellies, wiggling bloated arms and blushing, puffed out faces.

Now that they had been fully inflated, the warehouse workers got to the job of preparing them for the parade. Right before sunup, they had been fully dressed as Saint Nick and his wife, with the large beard and make up covering their scared and confused expressions.  The floating couple were both carried out into the parade by dozens of people handling ropes tied to their clothing and limbs, Those who were watching were impressed that the balloons' arms were capable of wiggling and waving to the spectators and that the eyes and head were capable of movement, making it seem that the balloons were looking over the crowd.
